Foksal Gallery
About

Founded in 1966 by a visionary group of Polish artists and critics, Foksal Gallery in Warsaw stands as a beacon of avant-garde and conceptual art. Nestled in an annex of the historic Zamoyski Palace, the gallery has long championed artistic freedom, fostering close collaboration between creators and curators. Its legacy includes pioneering exhibitions by figures such as Tadeusz Kantor, Edward Krasiński, and Christian Boltanski, and it continues to support emerging voices alongside established names. Rejecting commercial pressures, Foksal Gallery remains a non-profit institution dedicated to critical discourse and experimental practice. Its unique interior, designed by artists themselves, reflects a philosophy where the gallery space becomes part of the artwork. With a rich archive and a commitment to preserving artistic autonomy, Foksal Gallery offers a rare environment where art is not just displayed but deeply interrogated—making it one of Poland’s most influential cultural institutions.
